England's White-Ball Captaincy Dilemma: Billings in the Wait
Sam Billings reveals no contact for England's white-ball captaincy despite his credentials.

Sam Billings, 33, has stated that there has been no communication from England regarding the vacant men's white-ball captaincy. He hasn't played for England since 2022 but has a reputation as a smart skipper with Kent and franchise experience. A BBC Sport poll favored him over others. He was touted as a potential Test captain replacement before. Stokes and Brook are seen as likely candidates. Billings praised Brook's captaincy skills but mentioned workload concerns.
Billings also noted that he hasn't spent much time thinking about it and is enjoying his career. England director of men's cricket Rob Key and coach Brendon McCullum have kept options open, saying 'nothing is off the table'.
